[ARC5] BC 453 request - ham radio

[Doran Platt]

I use three Command set receivers as Q-5ers.  Two LF sets and one BC band set for use with ARR-15, BC-348, and ARC-2 equipment.  They allow acceptable use of these otherwise very wide receivers.  And, BTW, my ambient NL is about S9 most of the time, some traceable to computers, lighting controls, and who-knows-what from the neighbors!
